Table 1. DNA yield for 12 samples extracted using Amplex Hyplex Quickprep, BiOstic Bacteraemia, and MolYsis Plus kits.
Mean, sd and inter-quartile range (IQR) values were measured using the Qubit double-stranded DNA high sensitivity or broad range quantification kit shown (kits used as required). 0=DNA below detection limits of high sensitivity quantification kit.
